    • (—he remembers the chill of the frost and snow biting at bare skin, its usual pure white now tinged a horrid pink from the blood on his hands. He's far away from them now, the danger and the pain and everything else, but the blood will forever be on his hands no matter how much he tries to wash it away.

    His father had been right all along. He truly was a monster of the greatest kind.)

    QUEST: THE ASHES UNDERNEATH HIS NAILS (PART I)

    The message had come swiftly, the letter itself hastily written with a shaky hand. The request itself was simple; a plea for help from a village at the outskirts of Emprise du Lion, whose people have been mysteriously disappearing over the last few weeks. Considering the ongoing civil unrest that's still transpiring in Orlais the Inquisition made its decision to send out a team of agents to look into this message and see exactly what was going on.

    The eight agents tasked with the mission were given enough time to prepare for the trip ahead. They would all meet up first at the Inquisition camp set within the Emprise and from there travel for about a day until they reached where their destination was - Fromage, a quaint little village that rested at the outskirts of the area.

    From that point on, it was up to the agents of the Inquisition to solve this ongoing mystery. The mission: to discover the truth behind these disappearances - and to stop it, if possible.

    Kirk left Anders to calling, poking through objects and behind them to see if heard movement or a sound. He eventually made his way around to the crates, looking around and between them before knocking on the tops, and eventually reaching to grasp the edge of one and attempt to lift the lid away.

    Well those are definitely more Circle books, similar to the ones that Inessa found on the other side. Flipping through them shows similar stuff too.

    ...these sure are a lot of books about lyrium, though.

    It's all silence. Anders sighs heavily. It had really been too much to hope, but he'd hoped a little anyway.

    Coming over, he nods to the books. "What have you got there?"

    Kirk flipped through them quickly, not quite getting all of it, but recognizing immediate words like Lyrium. He took a guess to mean these were probably research materials of some sort, or at the least they were journals kept about what they had been doing.

    He sucks his lip for a moment, debating on what to say as he snaps the book shut.

    "Likely materials used for whatever they were doing here," he said, holding it out to Anders. "Whatever it was, it wasn't good. I suppose the question is - do we bring it, or do we burn it? I'm usually against burning books and knowledge, but this - this I might make an exception too."

    He takes the book and frowns right away at the cover.

    "These are from a Circle." He taps the markings that say as much before flipping it open. As he reads, his expression darkens. "Maker. I don't know what to do with these. I don't want people to work from them, but seeing where they failed, maybe I can come up with some way to counter the spread of red lyrium. Unless they're taken."

    The book gets closed and he frowns at it for several moments. "Does the good that might possibly come from this counter the risks of the notes falling into the wrong hands? The chance of me figuring something out is so small..."

    He doesn't know. He just doesn't know.
